 +begin a massive aerial battle.  With the the party essentially helpless to 
 +assist, they are left saving the innocents from the collateral damage that 
 +spreads into the village.
  
-... //More details coming soon// ...+From the mind link, [[Heilli]] learns that the man is known by dragonkind as the 
 +[["Dragonslayer"]] (or often simply "the slayer") In addition to carrying a 
 +trio of artifacts -- known as "The Scale" (armor), "The Fang" (longbow) and "The 
 +Claw" (longsword) -- the slayer appears to be immune to dragon breath.
  
-[[Kevin Arcana]] shows up and teleports the party to an ancient Dwarven temple +**In the end, the slayer is victorious and [[Manorgrax]] is killed (and 
-that contains //"The Charm of Making"//.  Salamandars, Golems, and Wraiths oh my! +beheaded)!** 
-[[Freyrik]] invokes the charm (after several failed attempts) and summons "The + 
-Dragon's Breath" Once the party is exposed to it, they all have visions.+After the battle, the Dragonslayer lands and begins casually cleaning his 
 +weapon. The party approaches him to demand an explanation, but he says nothing 
 +more than "He was a dragon" -- a statement delivered without a hint of emotion. 
 +[[Yosi]] (who had been held back up to this point) then charges to attack and 
 +learns that while the man may have prodigious skills against dragons, he is 
 +possibly vulnerable in a man-to-man fight.  This theory, however, cannot be 
 +proven as the man quickly takes to the air and flees [[Stillsquall]]. 
 + 
 +Shortly after the fight, while the party continues to help with the cleanup, 
 +[[Kevin Arcana]] teleports in using some sort of portable teleport circle. He 
 +tells the party that [[Manorgrax]] had sent him a message telling him that his 
 +future was somehow linked to the party's -- and that it somehow involves //"The 
 +Charm of Making"//
 + 
 +After Didrik returned from the Yak Folk enclave and reported that //"The Charm 
 +of Making"// was used to construct their gates, Kevin did some research -- from 
 +which he learned that the Dwarves had a copy of the spell and had built an 
 +underground temple to keep it safe.  While Kevin is uncertain //where// this 
 +temple is located((He suspects it is located under the [[Den'dray Hills]] -- 
 +where the Dwarves lived before being chased out by [[Mosargrax]] a thousand 
 +years ago))he knows of an ancient teleport circle that can be used to travel 
 +there. 
 + 
 +Once the party agrees to make this trip, Kevin adjusts the teleport circle he 
 +used to arrive in [[Stillsquall]] and the party steps through -- where they find 
 +themselves in the lava-filled ruins of the "Temple of the Prismatic Flame"
 + 
 +In the temple, they fight Salamanders, a pair of Stone Golems, and four Wraiths. 
 +During the fight, [[Likami]] notices that Kevin Arcana (who is always in some 
 +kind of constant painflinches when [[Allie]] uses [[Merthúvial]] in combat. 
 + 
 +They also find a magical field of prismatic fire shielding a black metal tablet. 
 +After some brute-force attempts fail to retrieve the tablet, the party begins 
 +searching the ruins for some kind of mechanism or clue to bring the fire down. 
 +In a ruined library, [[Freyrik]] locates a non-magical scroll titled "Ritual of 
 +the Five Elements" -- which appears to be instructions on how to dismiss the 
 +prismatic flame. 
 + 
 +However, with the temple partly in ruins, [[Allie]] has to cast a //Commune// 
 +spell to find the precise order for the five elements to safely bring down the 
 +field. 
 + 
 +Once the field is down, [[Freyrik]] examines the metal tablet and determines it 
 +is, in fact, "The Charm of Making" By casting the spell, a caster can bring 
 +forth a magical substance known as "The Dragon's Breath" -- which has both 
 +divination and conjuration powers. 
 + 
 +More interestingly, the tablet is a "permanent scroll" -- which allows it to be 
 +cast as many times as desired.  This comes in handy when [[Freyrik]] finds it 
 +extremely difficult to invoke the scroll. Howeverafter several failed attempts 
 +(and one dramatic mishap), he finally casts it and summons a magical fog that 
 +quickly fills the chamber. 
 + 
 +When both [[Kevin Arcana]] and [[Heilli]] deliberately step //into// the fog, 
 +the others follow suit -- whereupon each person experiences a surreal (and 
 +possibly prophetic) vision. 
 + 
 +  * [[Yosi]] sees [[v250yosi|a vision of Mosargrax]]. 
 +  * [[Ash]] sees [[v250ash|a vision of demons]]. 
 +  * [[Allie]] sees [[v250allie|a vision of Merthúvial]]. 
 +  * [[Heilli]] and [[Likami]] share [[v250twins|a vision of the Yuan-Ti in the jungle]]. 
 +  * [[Freyrik]] sees [[v250freyrik|a vision of the Id Portrait]]. 
 +  * [[Kevin Arcana]] does not reveal any details of his vision, but says, "I know what must be done!"
